!
The specifications of the chain and the bar homologated for this machine are
shown in the "EC Conformity Statement" provided. Do not use other types of chains or bars for
safety reasons.
The table gives the sharpening data for different types of chains, but this does not mean you
can use different chains from the homologated one.

BAR MAINTENANCE (Fig. 26)
To avoid asymmetrical wear on the bar, make
sure it is turned over periodically.
To keep the bar in perfect working order, pro-
ceed as follows:
– grease the bearings on the nose sprocket (if
present) with the syringe;
– clean the bar groove with the scraper;
– clean the lubrication holes;
– with a flat file, remove burr from the edges and
level off the guides.
Replace the bar whenever:
– the groove is not as deep as the height of the
drive links (which must never touch the bot-
tom);
– the inside of the guide is worn enough to
make the chain lean to one side.
